Guest guest Report post Posted June 17, 2002 Jai Guru Datta. Perhaps you have all heard of the magical happenings in the Mysore Ashram of Sri Swamiji. While there in 1999 for the Venkateswara Temple inauguration, the onlookers witnessed several eagles circling the kumba during the kumbabishekam. It was as if Vishnu had arrived on Garuda to bless the occasion. Garuda is the eagle which is the vehicle of Vishnu. On a more personal note, on my last day there, two other women devotees and I made our way back from Chamundi hill in an autorikshaw. As we approached the gate giggling like little girls, I called out from the riskshaw "Appaji, your little girls are home!" As if immediately responding lovingly to His children, an eagle appeared at our eye level and escorted our rikshaw all the way into the gate and down the road to the dormitory before flying off out of site. We were thrilled. Three grown women as carefree, loved and safe in Datta's ashram as little girls with their Father. Yes, we are indeed the children of Lord Datta.
